Alvaro

Alvaro was made for journeys that begin with a boarding pass and end who-knows-where; long lunches in Lisbon, midnight arrivals in Marrakech, a dawn taxi across Manhattan. Cut as a modern blouson and woven in the storied mills of Biella, the jacket’s ZQ merino wool cloth carries more stamps than most passports. The outer fabric is backed with a bio-based coating - wind- and water-repellent, conjured not from petrochemicals but from renewable plant sources. Practical wizardry with a conscience. Slip it on and you’ll discover merino’s secret talents: it breathes when the heat is high, insulates when the air turns sharp, and washes clean without protest. Traceable back to New Zealand farms where the sheep are treated better than most hotel guests, ZQ merino is travel-ready, sustainable, and quietly luxurious. There’s nothing fussy here. Just a jacket that moves with you, that shrugs off the weather, that looks as right in a departure lounge as it does leaning against a harbour wall with a glass of something cold in hand. Alvaro isn’t a coat, it’s a companion. Merino wool blouson The ZQ merino wool outer features a bio-based, showerproof, water and wind-repellent backing made from renewable plant sources.
